    Yeah and when McCain blasted Trump, he was back to being a war hero...lol

    McCain brought it upon himself with his idiotic comment.

    I can remember those San Fran 60's hippies welcoming those GI's getting off the bus with Spit, many of the same democrats that are now in politics today. So excuse me if I don't see the difference in those folks and Trump when it comes to patriotism, then again, he was a Democrat then too ;)

    Nothing compared to what you folks call him. Politics is humanity at its worst and the death of good manners.

    Thinking Trump is a fascist is quite hilarious. If he were a fascist he would've seized power back in 2020/1 and never let go. Quite the Fascist Dictator that let an Internationalist puppet candidate with foreign ties and alleged pedophile tendencies become the next leader of the nation.

    Once upon a time a president was also a role model. That was one of the reason for the problems with dealing with COVID. The person supposedly leading the country would not himself abide by the COVID restrictions recommendations

    The only reason he did not succeed with Jan 6 is that he is a total incompetent, and that is the concern because they w,l do a Reagan with him. Prop him up whilst the project 25 people actually grab all the power

    No. I remember
    Shrub, Chimp, Commander in Chimp, Gomer, Goober, Bushling, but not "Shrubya."
    I'll remember that one.

    One could also say Mussolini was incompetent yet, he was able to march on Rome with thousands of people. Trump could've just as easily had done that 4yrs ago and gathered a million+. I don't believe for a moment he is the Dictator you think him to be. He is no where near that level of ballsy nor do I believe he is inherently a nationalist either.

    He wasn't trying to overthrow the government. So, the "objective" you've been tricked into believing wasn't achieved, because it was never the objective to begin with.

    Perhaps. But for some, having seen just how bad it can actually be because of Trump, it may cause them to be more tempered in their judgment. Contrast can be a good thing.

    Yeah.... If he were REALLY a fascist, he would have tried some sort of insurrection to perpetuate himself in power. Maybe call for his followers to march to the Capitol on some date like... I dunno.... January 6 or something. Of course, that's impossible because there would have been violence and maybe even dead people. And hundreds in prison. Heck! he would have been impeached within weeks and maybe even charged with some crime like.... attempting to obstruct an official act... or something like that. How silly!

    That, he most definitely is not. It's the reason I said that "Nazi" fits him... ok.... But "fascist" fits him better.

    Trump Forced to Sell Prized Collection of House Republicans

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Drowning in debt, Donald J. Trump has been forced to unload his treasured collection of over two hundred Republican congresspersons.

    “If the Joe Biden legal system can make me sell my politicians, it can make you sell yours,” he warned supporters at a rally in Michigan. “This should never be allowed to happen in this country.”

    But even as the indicted businessman put his used legislators on the block, economist Davis Logsdon, who tracks the resale market for public officials, questioned how much they will fetch.

    “The first thing any prospective buyer of preowned politicians wants to know is, what condition are they in?” he said. “Unfortunately, many of these House Republicans are missing such crucial features as brains and spines, and, in the case of the men, two other parts.”

    Hilarious.

    Very relevant to the point of being a role model

    Never happened. If he wanted to he could've easily had done so. There was no means for the government to stop him if he wanted to. This isn't Hitler's Beer Hall putsch failing. Nor was this Mussolini's march on Rome. This was no take over but, more or less a gathering to further support him financially. If it was anything but that he'd be in prison right now. So your claim is incredibly invalid.

    There are international/globalist National Socialists or Fascists? lol.

    Anyone who needs to look to a politician, any politician as a role model is a piece of ****.

    So your excuse is that January 6 never happened. Ok... I'll leave it here because... what would be the purpose of expecting a serious debate with a poster who simply denies reality!

    Yeah... even as a wannabe dictator the guy's a failure.

    I don't know if Biden will be facing that much, but you could be right.

    Yeah, the reality you live in doesn't exist. Just as much as a man believing they're a woman. They'll never be a woman and January 6th was no coup/insurrection.

    So a war hero is only if they praise Trump, more cancel culture from MAGA.
